Hi guys ,ive got bit of a problem with my e30 320i ,this only happens when i've just started it up. I will be doing 30 mph in second gear and the revs will just drop and the engine will stall ,then i start her back up and start of again and it will pop and splutter then clear then stall , once she is warm then it will not do it ,its only just started doing this since the weather has been getting worse ,now i replaced the disy cap and rotor last year ,i have had it chipped ,fuel boost valve and an eco valve and green filter ,but i am baffled on what the problem could be ,any ideas guys ?

please help as it is very frustrating
